When the power Option is Hide

After shutting down the computer, after clicking on the power option in the Start menu, there are no options of Shut down, Restart, Sleep or Hibernate. What a danger! Then pressing the Win key + X, entering the user’s menu, saw the same status, showing only Sign Out option.

Why is it?

If you have ever created an administrator restriction under the influence of your own forgiveness or harmful virus, then the power settings in the Start menu do not have the necessary power settings. That ‘This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer Please contact your system administrator ‘message.
